Yuvraj’s approach

  • By disabled im assuming their limbs- hands/legs might not be functional, maybe they cant hear or see.
  • The app needs to have large buttons with high contrast themes. -Voice command surely needs to be there for accessibility. -Users can have their personal profiles mentioning their disability so the app is tailored for them and made easy to use. All disabilities are not the same.
  • While booking the places should highlight- wheelchair availability right from airport/railway station to the location of stay.
  • Emergency SOS button and 1 click calling. -App should suggest routes, places and plan itinerary accordingly to provide convenience to the user. -Collaboration with airlines, transport, hotels for accurate information regarding accessibility.
  • Offer integration with disability devices like hearing aids or other devices.
